 (juent repetition of cruelties described causes one 

 to ask : " Can such relics ot the dark ages exist in an enlight-

 not exaggerated; is evident from Hie vein in which Hie book 

 is written; and we cannot but rcspecl the Doctor for the mod- 

 est manner in which lie relates his story, and his kindliness in 

 suppressing names. Only a fewv devilish piece 



of work came to our knowledge. The wife of a citizen of Michi- 

 gan was confined in Hie Slate Asylum. Although he wrote.

 represented as "impolitic.'' He has just heard of her death,

—The Executive Committee, N. Ii. A., have passed the 

 following: 



Whereas, We are informed that Col. Henry Gr, Siiaw, 



;,..■. 1. 1, i California Rifle Association, and one of the in- 



r- of this association, will accompany the team 



which will represent California in the inter-Slate match to

The Bakkobd Protest. — It was. of course, very manifest 

 to those who know the ins and outs of Creedmoor manipu- 

 lation and management, that the Eeorel meeting of Hie Ex- 

 ecutive Committee on the San lord protest ia tin 

 the Tubus matcn, was to hatch up a result, the details of 

 which it would be inconvenient to put lief ore the public. 

 By all rules of consistency, for the sake p| precedent, and 



te single ground of fair play an round, the decision 



Should have been to sustain the exact enforcement ot the 



primed rules of the association; but for the sake of har- 



the board, the star chamber finally reached this 



I impotent conclush

This elves the badge for the third time to Col. Sanford, 



and closes this series of competition. If tht Spirit cares to 



. ,1 . ■ a suggestion that something like tair play should 



enter into the competition would be appropriate. 



The In tep.natio.nal. Team.— The selection of the members of 



dean team for the present year opened at, Creedmoor 



on the* 17th inst., but made rather a poor start, But 37 



riflemen came to hand. Brooklyn furnished a la 



gont of competitors, but excepting Canfield and Scott, from 



Baltimore, the South and West were entirely unrepresented.

 Order ZS T o. 6, instructs Ihe N. G. S. K. Y. touehipg 

 badge competitions, returns of practice for which arc to he 

 rendered to him prior to Nov. 1. He also calls attention to 

 the Creedmoor militaiy team shoots. In the Stale match,

at their disposal without charge while on the range. 



Waveeiev, K. Y., July 16, 1877. 

 Editor Forest and Stream and Itoo and Gun ; 



I beg a .-pace in your columns to speak of the contest on 

 the Fourth of July for Ihe Remington Creedmoor Sporting 

 rifle. It. would appear from that that I was successful only 

 on account of my brother aud I shooting the same rifle. 

 .ii.i. merit is unjust, as the record will show that in 

 shooting matches with Ithaca and .Rochester teams I ex- 

 celled twice. Another time I stood a tie with the highest 

 scores iu our team, and used a rifle alone ; and my r brother 

 lias made the. highest scores that have been made on our 

 1,000-yards range on two different occasions, he shooting 

 Ins rifle alone. 1 know not Ihe experience of other marks- 

 men, but my own experience has convinced me that I can 

 shoot best alone ; and 1 believe such would be the verdict 

 of all good marksmen who would try to shoot with another 

 manipulating the sights, with him shooting at long dis- 

 tances. A. HlLDKBllAND. 



[It undoubtedly gives an advantage for a marksman to 

 have his elevations and gauges set by a fellow shooter. 

 The Creedmoor rules forbid this double use of a rifle —Ed. ] 



TTalatt Hiil Bangs, July 17. — The first match was for 

 a Sharps mid-range rifle, five shots each at '.'Ou, 300 and 500 

 yards; position standing at each rar

Spp.tNoiFmi.D, Mass. — A correspondent from this point 

 says: "The Rod and Guu Club have completed a rifle 

 range, and have commenced practice. The range is pro- 

 nounced by good judges simply perfect. We have a good 

 location ; buildings and ranges at all distances Up 

 yards. The Massachusetts Arms Company have presented 

 the Club with one of their Maynard Creedmoor rifles, and 

 sent it down yesterday by Mr. Hadlfcy, who made a few 

 trial shots and ended off with the following score at 1,000 

 yards— 5 3 4 5 5 a 5 5 5 5 — 47. Mr. Davidson, of Hart- 

 ford, made at 800 yards— 3 5 8 3 5 4 5 4 5 5— 4'. J . Mr. 

 Hubbard, of Hartford, also did some fine shooting at BM 

 yards. The members of the club, with one or two excep- 

 tions, had never shot at long range before, and did not shoot 

 regular strings, but most Ot them got on the targets after a 

 few shots, ami give promise of good scores after a little 

 practice." 



MASS-, Lawrence, July 14.— A portion of the Lawrence 

 Rifle Club practiced at Merrimack range to- 

 members shooting 800 yards and others 500 yards. With a 

 possible 00 at 800 yards the following scores were D
